David came from humble beginnings i.e he came from the trenches, the low-class background. His family couldn't afford more than one square meal a day. Fortunately for him, he was the first born and far older than his younger sister.

At age 4, he could understand what his family was going through so he vowed to change the situation of his family. David hoped to achieve this before he becomes a fully grown adult. He was one of the best in school, didn't follow bad friends. Despite the strong urge to be successful, he trusted in making it clean..

David explored a lot of business ideas, and by age 15, he began to learn about digital marketing and Fintech. He learnt coding earlier so he created his own app called 'otampay' where people can market their products and meet potential buyers.

Slowly and steadily, his app began to gain visibility. Little by little, his efforts began to pay off, he bought a new car, relocated his family to a new home.

Just when everything began to fall into place, the gossip started...

"He don join them..."

"I said it, bad boys don influence am"..

"See as this 18 year old boy don destroy his life.."

"His mother did not train him well.."

"He has joined Yahoo"..

Everyone started looking at him and his family in disdain, with a lot of disappointment. But as far as he knew how it all started and how the transformation came by, the family was not bothered by the whispers flying around.

Now tell me, why is this so? This is what is happening presently.

When a young man aged 18-24 makes it genuinely, it is always linked to 'yahoo' by the general public.

The case is also same for ladies. When they make it successfully within their university days, they always associate it as she hooking up with men for money....

Even though bad means of being successful is rampant, it's not always the case. There are genuine opportunities they decided to grab when they had the chance during their young age.

Incase you haven't heard this, Alhaji Aliko Dangote acquired his first private jet at the age of 22 years. If he could achieve a great fear at such a young age, why is it an abomination for our present day generation?

Please, it's not always the case, there are still genuine ways young people make money so stop the rage baiting.
